Racism Is Not About Colour, But Is About Wealth by zhike: 8:12pm On Jul 18, 2021
Most Nigerians feels inferior to white people. I don’t know what is causing that, maybe is because Nigeria has few population of white people.

As Julius Malema, Kindly note that there is no racism based with the colour of the skin.
For example in Pretoria there is lot of white People that are homeless , black people undermine them and they respect black people.
As a black person will you be offended when a poor white person insults you with racism words, obviously no.
But if a rich white person utter racism words to you, you will be offended.

I should ask you why marcus Rashford is still being called monkeys and other silly racist words when he's obviously wealthy ASF. Or you think he isn't wealthy? He is, I can remember him even feeding poor kids in the UK which includes whites.

The main part of racism is how you feel about it.
People can say lot of things about you, and the problem is how you feel about those words.

What matters is who says racism words to you, I am sure Rashford feels nothing if poor white people racist him.

If a white man comes down to Nigeria and calls me a monkey, I wouldn't feel bad about it one bit, I might even confront him. You should move to racist countries like USA and get called monkey and see if you don't pee your pants in an instant

He's always calling on platforms to do more to stop white loosers who are being racist punks to him. He obviously feels bad about it, everyone would. Also is there even a way to tell if one is poor or rich from social media's
Re: Racism Is Not About Colour, But Is About Wealth by SIRTee15: 8:44pm On Jul 18, 2021
op knows nothing about racism.
Racism is about a superior culture n subjugation of other races n culture.
Whites believe they established the current civilisation which is the best ever created. Therefore, they should be the indisputable leader in this dispensation. No other race or culture should challenge them.

Blacks becoming wealthy will not eradicate that.
Instead the whites will feel threatened n jealous.

Ask the chinese, despite being the 2nd wealthiest nation on earth now, they are the most hated in western nation. Right now, the talk is about how western nations can stop China...by war if possible.

Racism was invented in the mid 1700s as a response by the white enslaving class to public protests over the savage treatment meted out on the African captives.

See, prior to the trans-Atlantic slave trade, Africans were not regarded as inferior beings by white people.

In fact Africans were revered as somewhat SUPERIOR people. They had built the pyramids of Egypt after all, and had bequeathed the ancient Greeks their civilization.

The ancient Greek term for Africans was ''the blameless Ethiopians'' on account of their piety, and the commonly held view in the ancient world that 'Ethiopia' (ie Africa south of Egypt) was the 'Land of the Gods'. As written by Diodirus of Sicily (300 BC) , ''the sacrifices of the Ethiopians are the most pleasing to the divinity''.


The ORIGINAL depictions of Jesus, Mary, and the Jews, in European churches, were of black people prior to the slave trade.

Google ''black Madonna'' in images to see them.

The MOORS, who were black West Africans, had been respected throughout Europe for bringing literacy, learning, architecture, and culture to Europe over 600 years up till the slave trade era.


So in view of this HIGH REGARD in which Africans were held in Europe, it came as a rude shock to the European public that Africans were being subjected to this dehumanizing treatment. There was public revolt against it. The lucrative trade became threatened.

The response of the slave merchants and their financial backers was to develop theories of black racial inferiority, which claimed that the Africans were sub humans who needed whites to civilize them and therefore the slave trade was a christian mission of salvation etc etc etc.

This new propaganda was disseminated in various forms through books and media articles that claimed fanciful theories of colour based racial hierarchy previously unknown on the Earth.


As these theories spread, public opposition to the slave trade subsided, and the money rolled into Europe. The 'whitewashing' of history also began in earnest. African contributions to world civilization were ignored. The old images of black Jesus and Mary were replaced with blonde white images.

That was the rise of racism.

That lily-white image of a blonde Jesus you have stuck on your wall is a false image based on lies, greed, deceit, and racism.

Only few racism incidents in South Africa.
Surely, if a stranger white man calls you monkey, you won’t feel bad. Thanks for agreeing with me, you won’t feel bad if stranger racist you.

Only white people such as your manager racist you, that is when it can be painful.

But if someone that reports to you racist you, you won’t feel pain.
That is why research said racism goes with power and wealth

The problem is that you accepted that there is superior race, which is not true.
The civilization happened because God wanted it to happen.
I am convinced that you never stayed in a multiracial environment. Racism is in your mind, and you remove racism from your mind you will be free.

The issue is not what u believe but what others think should be the status quo.
You can challenge it, but know white people believe all opposition to their dominance should be crushed.

The above is why african americans always fight white police- they don't want to bow...and we all know how it mostly ends up for them.
Go and read about Tulsa, a prosperous black city that almost rivalled New york.
Guess what happened to it? The whites in conjunction with American air force bombed it into extinction when the wealthy blacks become too arrogant for comfort.
If china continues on the path of defiance to white domination- war is inevitable. Why? because white can never imagine any other race above them.
The white man created the God u talking about...so if they tell u God gave them this civilisation to rule the earth, then u must believe it. Believing otherwise, means u asking for trouble.
The white man is an evil genius...know this and know peace.

The only way to defeat racism is for blacks to develop a superior culture that beats and eventually replace other cultures. This must spread across all human fields of endeavour including technology, economy, education, religion, art, language, entertainment, sport, fashion, lifestyle. The rest of the world must copy us, there should be a desire to travel down to Africa to gain knowledge to become successful.
Anything from above is just being economical with the truth. You can't be spending dollar or studying in harvard, and claim u are better than the whites. U just fooling around.

I live in uk by the way- a multi cultural society deeply entrenched in institutional racism- the worst form of racisim.
I noticed first hand how racism messed up the first generation of mixed race children born in this country - suicide rate was very high among them. Things are better for them now, some identify with black or simply say they are mixed- since there are now plenty of them.

Firstly, I will read about tulsa very soon.
I agree with you in order for africans to be respected, Africa should develop.

I also believe that whites have a problem if they believe that they are above other races.
About Racism in UK, i will not be able to comment much because UK is the home of whites and they can treat any race as their like without penalties.

About civilization, I believe it was God’s plan to make it happen. Unfortunately most of the civilizations done by the whites.

If they believe that God choose them to rule the world, is their own problem. They will be disappointed very soon. We are aware that whites control imf and currency exchanges,this will change very soon by the force of nature.

But much of what happens to blacks in Europe and America is 'economic discrimination'.

This crazy belief that if you can be wealthy enough, the world won't view you like they view other black people,
That is why at any given time, 80% of those leading Africa raise their children abroad,

No, it's not rare at all. Many Japanese Americans have been targeted and beaten up simply for looking the way they do.

According to wiki, ''Anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States has existed since the late 19th century, during the Yellow Peril. Anti-Japanese sentiment peaked during the Second World War and again in the 1970s–1980s with the rise of Japan as a major economic power.''

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Japanese_sentiment_in_the_United_States

So WHEN you become a major economic power is when white racism against you increases, not decreases. You become a threat to white supremacy. That is when they are at their most evil and devious to you. Note how they've been demonising China in their media. They might even be planning war on them.

I believe that Divine Intervention will save the world from the 'white' race.

''He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity..'' Revelation 13:10

It could be coming pretty soon.
